I'm trying to get a feel for how far parallels / vwmare have come for gaming. Do we yet know how gaming under parallels (direct x 9) on a high end iMac with 16gb of ram, 8 dedicated to the (win7) VM, would compare to boot camp running on a Mac Mini with the Radeon and 4GB ram? Ball park?

Everyone always says that native is best, but has parallels gotten good enough and the iMac's extra 'oomph' enough to even the scales?
